Hi I'm new
I was wondering, is it alright with everyone else that I've added a page to help students learn spanish pronunciation through IPA. I study linguistics and phonology in my spare time, and it really helped me with my spanish pronunciation. If anyone has any objections, please tell me.

A Proposal
I am a native English speaker who is learning Spanish. I went to the English Language department at the Spanish version of Wikiversity and posted the following into their Discussion page:

"I am a native English speaker and I have a proposal. I think that this Department and the Spanish Language Department at the English language Wikivesity should cooperate with one another. Both departments could benefit. Anglophones who want to learn Spanish could help Spanish speakers who want to learn English and vice versa. Students from across the English and Spanish speaking world could become intercambios for one another. Both departments would benefit and speakers of both languages would benefit. What are your thoughts?"

Here is the URL for the Department of languages and literatures on the Spanish language Wikiversity.

http://es.wikiversity.org/wiki/Facultad_de_lenguas

What are your thoughts? Do you think this could work?

Growing beyond the book format
My name is Ian and I'm from a project called Wikiotics, where we build free software tools for language instruction. We are starting to build collections of interactive language lessons that can serve as textbook replacements for students and this wikiversity course seems like a great place to start.

If there is anyone here who is interested in expanding this content beyond a traditional text-based book format or who would like to incorporate interactive lessons we build based on the outline of this book, just chime in here or contact us at contact AT wikiotics DOT org or in irc at #wikiotics on freenode.

As example of the kind of new materials you can make with our tools, here are examples our current lesson types:
 * Picture choice lesson (http://wikiotics.org/en/Introduction),
 * Re-mixable Podcast (http://wikiotics.org/user/ian/FSI-Mandarin-Module01-Unit01),
 * Text multiple choice lesson (http://wikiotics.org/en/WANY_Hospital_grammar)
 * new Storybook lesson [coming soon](http://laurent.dev.wikiotics.net/en/storybook1).

Also, some discussion of what technical features wikiotics has that wikibooks is missing, and how those features are useful in the language education context is ongoing at: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Talk:Spanish_by_Choice#Growing_beyond_the_book_format
